Where do you hang out online?

Just the very idea of adults willingly spending their precious moments of social interaction through a computer is strange in itself.

I wonder what it says about our evolution as a primate. After all, the hugs and cuddles of today are just the left overs of the essential bug combing and in-grown hair picking of yester-eon.

Are we becoming ever more sterilized by self hygiene that actual contact is no longer necessary, or even healthy? I mean, all crammed into cities, illness travels fast. Superbugs are learning to evolve faster than antibiotics. Hell, maybe this IS nature at work.

Think about it. It's been a slippery slope of all sleeping naked together in the cave to wearing furs for protection to ever changing concepts of modesty, huh? The more people we have to live around, the more barriers we physically put up (don't even get me started on emotional space of city goers vs. the physical standing distance deemed acceptable to country folk. *ahem*)

So it's likely that 'hanging out online' is a concept that will be either all-too familiar or sound boring and pathetic.

You be the judge.

That said, for all my fellow nerds out there, give me a shout out to your own personal haunts.

Just finished having a disccussion about hand washing with a chef - he's all for it as am I- many of our chefs, prep cooks and so on from "some" countries say it's a cultural thing- washing of hands is optional in many places- germ theory is still not known apparently- you make food- WASH YOUR HANDS- no culture is germ, bacteria free- no man or woman that goes to the bathroom is germ and bacteria free- WASH YOUR HANDS- I don't know if I can eat tomorrow- germs and bacteria are not mentioned in the bible- WASH YOUR F'n hands- wherever your from- I try not to even shake hands with people - I don't know where your hands have been- so gross- that should be a law-

sorry it was a long discussion with a chef that does wash and I did not want to know this information- so gross- please- particularly if you prepare my food- WASH YOUR HANDS

I'm on twitter and YouTube all the time. I check my YouTube inbox and my twitter @ replies as the first thing I do when I wake up and the last thing I do before to bed, as well as constantly whenever I'm at home (aka in my dorm room) and even if I'm in the library sometimes I can't resist - basically if I'm on the internet. XD I watch tons of YouTube fanvideos daily, sometimes atheist vids but usually just fanvideos... and I read lots of tweets daily as well. I do look at this site a lot but it's often seeing @ThinkAtheist tweet out a new discussion post (like this one) that causes me to click and end up here on this site. XD I also sometimes am on fanfiction.net reading tons of fanfics. That's pretty common for me as of late... although sometimes I just put the fics on my Kindle to read instead of actually hang out "online" there. Every once in a while I'm on tumblr but it's still new for me so I'm not addicted yet... XD So yeah, tumblr, this site, and then mainly twitter & YouTube. Those 4 really cover it for me, especially the last 2.
